Succeeding in a game of Backgammon needsrequires both strategy and fortune. How far you will be able to shift your chips is left to the numbers from rolling the dice, and the way you move your checkers are decided on by your overall gambling strategies. Enthusiasts use a few plans in the differing parts of a match depending on your positions and opponent’s.

The Running Game Strategy

The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your pieces into your inner board and pull them off as fast as you could. This technique focuses on the pace of advancing your chips with little or no efforts to hit or stop your opponent’s pieces. The best time to employ this plan is when you think you can move your own pieces faster than your opponent does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your chips have past your competitor’s checkers; or 3) your opponent doesn’t use the hitting or blocking plan.

The Blocking Game Technique

The main aim of the blocking plan, by its title, is to block the opponent’s chips, temporarily, not worrying about shifting your checkers quickly. As soon as you have created the barrier for your competitor’s movement with a few chips, you can shift your other chips quickly off the board. You should also have a clear strategy when to extract and move the checkers that you utilized for the blockade. The game gets intriguing when the opposition uses the same blocking tactic.
